On March 14, the 35th year of Jiajing, Su Ming woke up from his house in the early morning and saw the familiar house, feeling extremely comfortable and comfortable in his heart, he had accepted everything left to him by the original owner.

I still remember when I was a child, Su Ming lived in this landlord's house with my tenth brother, and now that the tenth brother is no longer there, my sister-in-law has kept the house, and he will live here in the future.

Enter the sea of consciousness to check the 92 pistol bullets, it shows that there are 7 bullets in [48%], he took out all the bullets last night, and this morning there were 7 more bullets, and now he has saved 16 bullets.

When I went out, my sister-in-law was chopping wood in the yard, my eldest nephew was holding a book in the yard and endorsing a book, and my eldest brother was washing his face.

"Wash your face quickly, follow me to the morning exercise in a while, all the men in our two Weibao have to participate in the exercise, it was your father who protected you in the past and made you tired, and you will have to participate diligently in the future!" Su Ren saw his younger brother get up and said to him.

Su Ming used to be one of the few scholars in Erweibao, but his father took a fancy to him, and he never participated in the training of young people in the castle, which also caused him to have very poor physical fitness and look very thin now.

"Big brother, I know!" Su Ming also washed his face, and went to the fort with his eldest brother for morning exercises.

There is a large training ground in the back fort, next to which is a row of warehouses, where the salt, grain, and weapons depots produced in the fort are all here, and generally only men come here.

When Su Ming and his eldest brother came here, they saw that there were already more than 20 people training here, everyone was holding wooden spears, and those who did not have spear heads were practicing here, and everyone gathered around when they saw Su Ren coming.

"Eighth brother, you go to the rear, you have poor physique, let's take a look at it for the first time you participate in training." Su Ren said to Su Ming.

Su Ming saw the eldest brother commanding everyone to line up, today everyone is training spears, for the poor guards, spears are the best weapons to use, as long as the training is in place, the combat power that can be exerted is not small.

The eldest brother is a hundred households in Wei Zhuang, and there are some martial arts, maybe there is Su Ming here today, he is just practicing the simplest array sprint with everyone, and there is a lot of knowledge in a simple sprint.

"Raise the gun in front of your chest, remember that the gun body is flat, the gun body must be stable, the gun head must be accurate, and the power should be forward... One two three... Kill ......" Su Ren shouted the word [kill], and an indomitable momentum was generated, and everyone couldn't help but listen to his order to rush and kill.

There are not only young people who come here to train, but also an old man who is over fifty years old, all the pirates who attack them must take up arms to resist, and the children who stand in the back row with Su Ming are only about 14 or 5 years old, which is already considered an adult in a poor family.

Although he has a Type 92 gun, Su Ming did not underestimate these simple marksmanship, his gun could not solve any battle, so he completely followed his eldest brother into the practice, without the slightest relaxation, and even most of the movements, he was more serious than the others around him.

In his last life, he has been a soldier and a policeman for more than 20 years, Su Ming quickly integrated into everyone's formation, and he also quickly mastered the essentials, the military formation rushed to kill and exchanged a coordination and rhythm, and the gun paid attention to a steady, accurate and ruthless, if the cooperation was not good during the battle, the one who died was the one who couldn't keep up with the rhythm, not the one with the worst force.

The feeling of being involved in training is very good, he is holding a wooden gun more than 2 meters long, when he hears the eldest brother shouting one or two, he takes a step forward with the spear flat, sits on his feet and takes a step forward when he shouts three, and stabs at the target with all his strength when he shouts kill, Su Ming actually has a feeling of being indomitable.

Every quarter of an hour of training, Su Ren would stop and rest, and then correct everyone's movements, Su Ming would be pointed out by Su Ren every time there were a lot of problems, and everyone could see clearly that Su Ming's progress was visible to the eye.

After an hour of morning exercise, when the eldest brother shouted that the morning exercise was over, Su Ming felt that his two arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them, his current body was really bad.

"You should eat more, look at you skinny. But he is also a good man with flesh, although it is a little late to practice martial arts now, but it is not too late, and you will be able to form a head in less than half a year if you persist! Su Ren saw his younger brother sweating profusely, and his eyes were full of praise when he walked over.

Only the strongest people in the gun formation can stand in the front row, they lead the rhythm of the whole team, and they are also the most important people in the team. Su Ming nodded to his eldest brother when he heard this.

Su Ren also smiled when he saw this, he was originally worried that his younger brother would not be able to persevere, but now he doesn't look like a novice who has just practiced formation. This shows that the younger brother is not without a talent for martial arts, nor is it that he can't endure hardships, it's just that he hasn't tried this aspect in his studies before!

Su Ren focused on observing his younger brother's performance today, although the rhythm of each attack was not quite right, but the footwork and the seriousness of the training were not comparable to any young man in the castle.

"I'm still too far behind, I hope my body can get better by practicing more in the future, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so good, big brother!" Su Ming really didn't expect that his eldest brother had such good martial arts, he was holding the same wooden gun as others, but a demonstration alone could give people the feeling of thousands of troops.

"Eldest brother, I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was six years old, and now it has been more than 20 years, and many old people in this castle have not practiced martial arts as much as I did." Su Ren said.

Su Ming nodded, he knew that his father was very strict with his eldest brother when he was a child, and there was no sword, gun, bow, shield, and riding that he was not proficient in, and since he was 16 years old, the eldest brother had followed his father to drive away the Japanese Kou, and his martial arts were only comparable to the fifth brother.

After going home and washing up, my sister-in-law had already made breakfast. Breakfast is coarse porridge with two wotou, wotou is made of black noodles without removing the bran, and a little pickle, which is already a good meal for Erweibao.

Su Ming drank two large bowls of porridge and four nest heads, and he reacted when he saw that his sister-in-law and eldest brother were eating very slowly.

"You eat yours, it's a blessing to be able to eat, and our family can't still lack you to eat." Sister-in-law Cai looked at Su Ming and said with a smile.

"I'll go to Jinshanwei Town later, buy you some meat and come back, you can eat it to grow your strength!" Su Ren looked at Su Mingdao.

"Meat to eat, great? Daddy, I'm going to eat pork! Su News said happily when he heard this.

"Okay, just eat pork, it's your eighth uncle to pick up the wind and wash the dust. Just now I told Master Cao Qi that he should go to Yantian at noon and let your fifth uncle come back, he will definitely be very happy to know that your eighth uncle will come home. Su Ren touched his son's head and said with a smile, his younger brother can come back, which makes him feel a lot less guilty in his heart for more than a year.

Su Ming knew that his eldest brother was a hundred households, and although the family was not rich, there should be no shortage of food, so he began to continue to eat, and he stopped when he felt his stomach a little swollen.

The habit of being a soldier made Su Ming lose his previous temperament, but was more crisp and capable, and Su Ren was very happy to see that he didn't have any doubts.

Second, the men of Weibao basically do not do housework, and they are responsible for salt production every day except for training. The eldest brother rode to the town to inquire about the military salary, and the sister-in-law went out to call the women in the fort to the house to distribute the horses, and Su Ming saw that he planned to go to the salt field to go to the fifth brother and the thirteenth brother.

I went to the stable to fetch the strong horse I had brought back yesterday, saddled the horse, and rode out of Erweiburg.

The salt field of Wei Zhuang is still far away from Erwei Fort, about seven or eight miles, Su Ming rode to the sea, and saw the salt pans dug here, these salt fields are Wei Zhuang's.

Coming to the entrance of a courtyard surrounded by a stone wall, Su Ming saw that there were many traces of knives and arrows on the stone wall of Zhuangzi.

The west side of the salt factory belonged to the area of Wei Zhuang, and there was only one road, so Su Ming's arrival did not attract too many people's attention. It wasn't until he dismounted at the gate of the village that a man who was picking salt water in the salt pan next to him recognized him.

"Eighth Master, it's Eighth Master here! The fifth master ...... "Seeing Su Ming, the dark-faced and thin-faced worker hurriedly ran back to the courtyard, and soon Su Ming heard a burst of sound in the calm courtyard.

Many people working at the door came to ask when they saw Su Ming, and Su Ming replied with a smile when he looked at these familiar faces. The dark skin was all caused by the sunburn, and seeing that they were all malnourished, Su Ming knew that Wei Zhuang's life was not good.

Looking at the familiar path in Yantian, as well as the doorposts on both sides of the gate that had been severely corroded, Su Ming's mind was full of memories of his youth, when he was naughty here and was slapped by his father, and his eldest brother and other elder brothers would help him exonerate.

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Ming heard footsteps in the courtyard, and he stepped forward to see that it was his fifth brother Su Qingping who came out with two small flags.

"Eighth brother, it's really you, you're back!" Su Qingping went out and saw Su Ming, and the rough voice came far away, and many people in the salt field came to see it.

"I came back yesterday, and I won't leave when I come back this time, the fifth brother has been okay for more than a year!" Su Ming looked at Su Qingping and said with a smile.

"It's good to come back, what else do I have to say, let's talk about it when I come to the hospital!" Su Qingping welcomed Su Ming in, and everyone in the village shouted Eighth Master when they saw Su Ming.

On the west side of this village are some low earthen houses, which seem to have nearly ten rooms, which should be used for living. The house is convenient for a stable with three horses in the stable which looks very nice.

To the north of the village is a large warehouse, next to which is a firewood house against the wall, which is full of firewood, and basically everyone in the village is busy working under the east wall.

Looking at the rows of cauldrons here, the fire under the pot is burning, the diameter of this pot is more than 7 feet, and there are at least more than 20 of them.

These cauldrons are used to boil salt, and having a salt field does not mean that salt is not boiled, but that it takes less effort to boil salt.

These cauldrons basically have no rest all year round, and after boiling one pot after another, the workers take turns working day and night.

Many people who were dressed in tatters and skinny, Su Ming knew that they were the homeless people who collected them, and the salt factory had a heavy task and needed some helpers, and these homeless people would always stay here if they gave them a bite to eat.

And when Wei Zhuang encountered danger, they would also take up arms together to fight the enemy, and many people in Erwei Fort performed well in the salt works, so they settled here, so they got married and had children and became the people of the salt factory from generation to generation.

Su Ming didn't enter the house with the fifth brother, he and Su Qingping checked the cauldron that was boiling salt, and it seemed to be a lot less than when he left a year and a half ago.

"It's hot here, there's nothing to see, or let's go out for a walk, the thirteenth brother is still patrolling the beach." Su Qingping looked at the salt pot in a daze, thinking that he was thinking about his dead parents, so he stepped forward and said.

"Fifth brother, how much salt can our salt factory produce every day now?" Su Ming looked at the busy crowd and asked.

"About 1 stone! Last year, our northern Yantian was occupied by Qiyanbao, and everyone didn't dare to rest more, and if the task was completed every month, thousands of households would inevitably find trouble with the eldest brother! Su Qingping said.

In the Ming Dynasty, 1 stone was 150 catties, and one catty was equal to 600 grams now, and this output was already less in later generations, and at this time it was already good.

The quality of the green salt in the Jinshanwei Salt Institute in Songjiang Prefecture is good, and a pound in the black market is about 120 Wen, which is 18 taels of silver on this day, and more than 500 taels a month, which is already very much for a hundred households with hundreds of people.

It's a pity that they have to hand over the salt they make to Jin Shanwei every month, and if they don't pay it all, there will be a serious punishment, but Jin Shanwei's reward for Wei Zhuangsu is that they can barely survive here.
